Abstract

An active matrix substrate includes pixel regions each including a pixel electrode and an oxide semiconductor TFT including an oxide semiconductor layer. Each pixel electrode is electrically connected to one of adjacent two of source bus lines. The oxide semiconductor layer in the oxide semiconductor TFT of each pixel region overlaps the pixel electrode of a first adjacent pixel region. The pixel electrode of the each pixel region partially overlaps the oxide semiconductor layer in a second adjacent pixel region. The source bus lines include first and second source bus lines adjacent to each other. Pixels sets each including two pixel regions whose pixel electrodes are connected to the first source bus line and pixel sets each including two pixel regions whose pixel electrodes are connected to the second source bus line are arranged alternately between the first and second source bus lines.

Claims
